A^Dr.JeolHiderbrand'sdiscoveriesandinventions.

B、Dr.JeolHiderbrand'scontributionstoeducation.

C、Dr.JeolHiderbrand'scontributionstotheworld.

D、Dr.JeolHiderbrand,aversatile（多才多艺的人）wi由agelessenergyandvigor.

标准答案：D

知识点解析：主旨题。这篇短文主要介绍了美国一位将毕生奉献给科学和教育的人

JeolHiderbrand博士。答案可以从第一段看出：当J?olHiderbrand博士101岁去世

时，他已经结婚七十五年了，Inhisownway,Dr.JeolHiderbrandwascertainlya

genius,最后段也提供了这方面的线索：hecouldhavesuchagelessenergyand

vigoro选项A,C太泛，太宽；B.“池对教育的贡献”太窄；均不是正确答案。

17、What'sthereasonforDr.JeolHiderbrand'sinterestinchemistry?

Hisparentstaughthimchemistrywhenhewasveryyoung.

C、Hewasborninatimeyoungpeoplehadgreaterfreedomtodecidewhattheywanted

todo.

D、Histalentsweregreaierthanhischemistryteacher.

标准答案：C」

知识点解析：推断题。是什么原因使.JeolHiderbrand博士对化学产生兴趣呢?答

案可以在第二段的陈述中找到。JeolHiderbrand博士对化学的兴趣始于早年，上中

学时就因其化学知识超过老师而闻名，并因此得到学校化学实验室的钥匙。在学校

化学实验室里他有了新的发现。文中引用JeolHiderbrand博士的话说，他对化学的

兴趣的形成是因为他很幸运地出生在电视还未问世的时代，所以他得自己决定应该

关注什么。言外之意，当今时代少儿沉湎于电视节目，实际上限制了个人兴趣的发

展。

18>Whatdistinguished（使..出类拔萃）Dr.JeolHidcrbrandfromothersasearlyasin

highschool?

A、Hewasgiventhekeytothechemistrylab

B、Hisdiscoveryofthecorrectformulaforsomechemicalcompound.

C、Helearnedmorechemistryfromhisteacher

D、Hisexcellentscoreinchemistrylearning.

标准答案：B

知识点解析：细节题。是什么使Dr.JeolHiderbrand早在高中阶段就与众不同呢？

他在中学时就发现了某种化合物的正确的分子式，这使他与众不同。C无从谈起，

D原文未提及，显然应排除。剩下的A和B需仔细斟酌。A几乎就是照抄原文，

但有一字之差（key而非keys）,故不合题意。顺便提醒各位备考的同学做细节题时

尤要细心对照选项和原文，免得落人陷阱。

19、Theuseofheliumfordeep-seadiving.

A、helpedtoovercomethephysicaldiscomfortsthediversexperiencedwhennitrogen

wasused

wasfoundbyDr.JeolHiderbrand

C、isstilluniversallyacknowledgedasstandardpracticeuptonow

D、AllthatisincludedinA,B,andC

标准答案：D

知识点解析：细节题。句子主语是“深海潜水中氮气的使用”，所提供的几个选项谓

语A：“有助于克服潜水城使用氮气潜水时身体的不适。”此陈述与原文第三段第一

句话意义相符;B：”是由JeolHiderbrand博士发现的”，也是正确陈述。再看C,

与原文第三段最后一句含义一致；因此可见三项陈述都对。因此，正确选项为D。

20、AccordingtoDr.JeolHiderbrandwhataccountsfbrhisagelessenergy?

A^Hisancestors

B>Hisparents

C、Heredity（遗传）

D、Hardworking.

标准答案：C

知识点解析：推断题。C项意为“遗传”。此题可根据JeolHiderbrand博士的幽默回

答得出答案“Ichosemyancestorscarefully.”（我细心地选择了自己的祖先）这就是他

对自己长寿不老，精力过人的见解。

家庭对孩子的影响更大些。

24、Whydidmanyparentsfailtomakethemostoftheirchildren'sintelligence?

标准答案：Theyarewarnedbyeducatorsnottoeducatetheirchildren.

知识点解析：根据第二段第二句Untilrcccntlyparentshadbeenwarnedbyeducators

商是因为教育专家的忠告：不要自己教授孩子。

25、Theauthorsuggestsinthelastparagraphthatparentsshouldbeencouragedto

处只能填连接词，起连接作用。文中的意思是：这些可飞行的机器甚至能发射小型

武器，故I正确。

39、[R14]

标准答案：H

Thompson是参与此项目的防御专家，故H正确。

40、[R15]
